(as best I can...)
I'm trying to figure out the EXACT meaning of all the information given out at the meeting that happened in Porterville on Saturday, but let me tell you, alot of it might as well be written in GREEK! Ancient Greek, at that!
So far, what I have gathered is this:
Starting on Jan 1, 2010 every truck that runs in CA must have the proper catalytic converter system, or must be 2007 or better engine. These systems run in the range of $30,000- $40,000. And it is not just for CA based trucks. This applies to any truck, from anywhere, that runs anywhere in the state of CA.
There are a few other deadlines in 2011-2013, but I don't quite understand them yet. I will gather more information on this tomorrow. (I'm really, really trying, but my brain only absorbs so much information at a time!)
By 2014, your truck had better be 2007 or newer, because ANYTHING prior to 2007 is JUNK! Even the ones with the converters that these people just paid $30,000 for!
To put this in a nut shell, it will cost my hubby's employer 2.8 MILLION dollars to comply with this law! And this won't even bring him into compliance with the proposed regulations for 2021!
I'm sure you can all see which way the wind blows here....
The Anti Idle Law is headed for the Courtrooms, but we are still going to try to bring as much attention to it as possible.
If you have any further questions, please let me know and I will TRY to answer them. I have all this paperwork in front of me, and let me tell you, I really, really feel like a true BLONDE!
